Jordan Eberle, who collided with Logan Couture nightin last ‘s 5-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks, will not be in the Edmonton Oilers lineup tonight against the Anaheim Ducks.

Eberle did finish the game and isn’t expected to be long term.

Mark Arcobello, who has been out since Dec. 17 with a rib injury, returns as does Ryan Jones (head). Anton Lander may be scratched with defenceman Anton Belov expected to sit as well.

The Oilers have recalled Brad Hunt from the Oklahoma City Barons to play on the back end. Ilya Bryzgalov starts in net.

“We just had a lengthy video meeting,” said head coach Dallas Eakins. “We just need to limit the gifts.

“We were laying them out on a silver platter again last night.

“We need to bring some emotion and some fire and not just early but early and in the middle and in the end.”

Hunt, 25, has not yet played an NHL game and could be paired with Nick Schultz. He leads the Barons defencemen with three goals and 12 assists in 29 games and got the call because Oscar Klefbom is injured. Philip Larsen has been moved to injured reserve to open up a roster spot.
